I came across a tragic story. The protagonist of the story was looking for an alternative to PayPal in July 2010. He found BTC. At that time, the price of BTC was 10 cents,but no one bought it.Like many unfortunate stories, he put it aside, and then forgot about it until it appeared in the media in 2013.
Though your story looks not complete but I got your message. the truth is that most people have regretted not buying bitcoin when it was lesser In values maybe when it was some cents not upto $1. But the truth remains that people don believe in hype or what people predict about the future until the see the results before they can believe. As at them no one would have believe that someday bitcoin would be this expensive untill now. I. Equally not happy not having enough stash of Bitcoin in my wallet because I was not informed and even if I was I form, I was a college student who depends on parents, I wouldn't have even invested on it because bitcoin is along time journey which I am not that patient to wait then, compeard to now.
